Klara and the Sun was my most anticipated book release of 2021。 It is impossible to disregard Ishiguro’s own statement and hence approach this novel without thinking about Never Let Me Go。 Similar to NLMG， KatS provides the reader with a platform to meditate on growing up， life， and death。 Ishiguro’s gentle tone creates a substantial emotional bond between the reader and the Artificial Friend Klara whose I/eye we share throughout the narrative。 I believe this is one of the novels that could only Klara and the Sun was my most anticipated book release of 2021。 It is impossible to disregard Ishiguro’s own statement and hence approach this novel without thinking about Never Let Me Go。 Similar to NLMG， KatS provides the reader with a platform to meditate on growing up， life， and death。 Ishiguro’s gentle tone creates a substantial emotional bond between the reader and the Artificial Friend Klara whose I/eye we share throughout the narrative。 I believe this is one of the novels that could only be fully comprehended in time。 It’s not easy to formulate what it is to be human。 Like the Sun， stories “always [have] ways to reach us。"Personal side note: Klara’s faith in the Sun truly spoke to me。 Being a person whose mood and energy are totally dependent on the presence of the Sun， I mostly liken myself to sunflowers chasing after him。 。。。more

Kazuo Ishiguro returns to a world very similar to Never let me go in his latest novel Klara and The Sun。 Almost dystopic at times， this novel follows the friendship between Rosie and her AF （artificial friend） Klara。 The novel told from Klara's perspective follows the AF as she discovers all the machinations of human life。 Klara and The Sun is seeped with Ishiguro's usual traits; unreliable narrators， withheld information。 The plot unfurls slowly as you learn more about the novels world alongsid Kazuo Ishiguro returns to a world very similar to Never let me go in his latest novel Klara and The Sun。 Almost dystopic at times， this novel follows the friendship between Rosie and her AF （artificial friend） Klara。 The novel told from Klara's perspective follows the AF as she discovers all the machinations of human life。 Klara and The Sun is seeped with Ishiguro's usual traits; unreliable narrators， withheld information。 The plot unfurls slowly as you learn more about the novels world alongside Klara。I loved this。 Klara is a protagonist full of love and intrigue。 This novel will make you sad， happy， confused and questioning what it is to be human。 。。。more

Beautiful， sad， meditative。 I had a hard time deciding between 4 and 5 stars on this one， I’m still on the fence。 Ishiguro’s writing is beautiful and without excess， but still descriptive and moving。 Like his other books Klara and The Sun meditates on loneliness， love， and what it means to feel these things- what it means to be human even if his subject isn’t。 His writing is tender without being sentimental and filled with a sad longing。 I have a feeling that this book will stick with me for a l Beautiful， sad， meditative。 I had a hard time deciding between 4 and 5 stars on this one， I’m still on the fence。 Ishiguro’s writing is beautiful and without excess， but still descriptive and moving。 Like his other books Klara and The Sun meditates on loneliness， love， and what it means to feel these things- what it means to be human even if his subject isn’t。 His writing is tender without being sentimental and filled with a sad longing。 I have a feeling that this book will stick with me for a long time and probably grow in my estimation。 It is closer to Never Let Me Go than his other works I’ve read， so if you liked that one you’ll probably like this one too。 Thanks to NetGalley for the advanced reader’s copy！ 。。。more

This is Never Let Me Go—Ishiguro。 Young adult fable vibes。 I can easily picture this as a graphic novel illustrated by Shaun Tan。 Reminds me of the Black Mirror episode Be Right Back mixed with Steven Spielberg’s A。I。Gentle and Melancholy。

“Klara and the Sun” is the first novel Ishiguro has published since he won the 2017 Nobel Prize in Literature which – of course - means that this is one of the publishing events of the year， but given this author's output producing a new novel roughly every five years means it's also coming right on time。 I was entranced by his most recent novel “The Buried Giant” which reads like the most psychologically-compelling fable or fantasy tale。 Yet， even though I have a high regard for his work， I was “Klara and the Sun” is the first novel Ishiguro has published since he won the 2017 Nobel Prize in Literature which – of course - means that this is one of the publishing events of the year， but given this author's output producing a new novel roughly every five years means it's also coming right on time。 I was entranced by his most recent novel “The Buried Giant” which reads like the most psychologically-compelling fable or fantasy tale。 Yet， even though I have a high regard for his work， I was initially skeptical of the premise of “Klara and the Sun” which is told from the perspective of an Artificial Friend or AF who at the beginning of the story is waiting on a shop shelf for an adolescent child to purchase her。 It sounds similar to the film series Toy Story or perhaps a bit like Pinocchio。 This isn't a coincidence since Ishiguro described in a recent interview how he initially conceived of this story as a children's book。 Additionally， given that this new novel is also about genetic engineering， the question of what it means to be human and it's set in an unspecified future point means it's also reminiscent of his novel “Never Let Me Go”。 But the magic of Ishiguro's writing is that any reservations I had were quickly forgotten as I got into the drama of this suspenseful and moving story。 It's difficult to discuss this book without giving spoilers， but I'm going to do my best to avoid them。 This isn't simply a saccharine tale because it's sweetness is also what makes it unsettling as we follow Klara's gradual understanding of the world around her and the expectations placed upon her。 She's a naïve， highly perceptive and well-intentioned AF who has no qualms with the purpose she's been designed for: to support， nurture and give unqualified friendship to her child owner。 When she is eventually purchased she does exactly that and her loyalty means that she goes to great lengths to be the best companion she can。 Her faith in the power of the Sun drives her to perform a charmingly ardent act to help her child and around this time we also learn about the deeper purpose for which she was purchased。 This means that these two narrative threads which are light and dark intertwine at almost the same point making the reader feel beguiled as well as horrified。 It's a powerful effect which makes it a gripping story as well as one which raises lingering questions about the binding force of love。 Read my full review of Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro on LonesomeReader 。。。more

My 5th book by Ishiguro has further cemented him as one of my absolute favorite authors。 I really enjoy taking my time with his books。 There is such a quiet， reflective， gentle beauty to his writing that hits me in the feels and makes me want to sit and listen - to the world outside and the world within。

I burned through this book。 It's rare that a novel so gentle is also so compelling， and that spec fic done so softly can also be so tense。 The first half is the stronger and the scene in the portrait studio the most intense， but ultimately， despite some hammy parts， I've come away thinking about grief， promises and human desperation。 You'll read it and you'll love it。 I burned through this book。 It's rare that a novel so gentle is also so compelling， and that spec fic done so softly can also be so tense。 The first half is the stronger and the scene in the portrait studio the most intense， but ultimately， despite some hammy parts， I've come away thinking about grief， promises and human desperation。 You'll read it and you'll love it。 。。。more

A recent profile of Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro in The NY Times proclaimed him the prophet of the age and declared Klara and the Sun profound and powerful。 I wish I could get on the bandwagon， but I finished the novel with a sense of disappointment and dispassion。 I guess when you write a story from the perspective of a robot， even one created to be an AF （artificial friend） for a human， you run the risk of telling your tale without emotion。 Often times a story like this works beca A recent profile of Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro in The NY Times proclaimed him the prophet of the age and declared Klara and the Sun profound and powerful。 I wish I could get on the bandwagon， but I finished the novel with a sense of disappointment and dispassion。 I guess when you write a story from the perspective of a robot， even one created to be an AF （artificial friend） for a human， you run the risk of telling your tale without emotion。 Often times a story like this works because the reader brings their own experience and translates the neutral analysis into the “real story”， colored by their personal feelings。 In Klara and the Sun， I never connected with any of the characters or cared much about their problems。 The events that took place in a world not too distant from our own， revolve around a young girl Josie who is suffering from serious unspecified health issues。 It is she for whom Klara is intended to be her AF。 Being an AF does not translate to sharing hopes and dreams。 Klara is somewhere between a favorite toy and a roomba， but unlike the Velveteen Rabbit， love doesn’t turn her into a real girl。 Josie’s family has been fractured by the death of an older sister and the separation of her parents。 A longtime friendship with a boy in her neighborhood is on shaky ground because of changes in the social status of both。 There appear to be no other social connections as all schooling is virtual。 The combination of Josie’s health issues and Klara’s inability to experience emotions leads to a muted atmosphere despite what would seem to be deep and unjust rips in the fabric of society。 In a world where science and technology seem to control all aspects of life， Klara， in order to cure Josie， reaches and acts on a conclusion that seems plucked directly from a fairytale。 I was never able to buy into her action and all that followed。 Klara and the Sun may have been offered up as an indictment of the world ahead of us， but to me， the whole construction lacked the passion that drives us and makes us connect to a story。 。。。more

'Oh Klara，' Manager said quietly。 'You never miss a thing， do you？'In his first novel since the Nobel prize， Ishiguro seems to return to the sort of world we encountered in 'Never Let Me Go'。 Here， in a familiar yet slightly dystopian world， Artificial Friends （AFs） are available for people to buy for company。 The book is narrated by one of these， Klara， as she initially spends her days in the store waiting to be bought and then， when she finally is， observing the family as events unfold。This is 'Oh Klara，' Manager said quietly。 'You never miss a thing， do you？'In his first novel since the Nobel prize， Ishiguro seems to return to the sort of world we encountered in 'Never Let Me Go'。 Here， in a familiar yet slightly dystopian world， Artificial Friends （AFs） are available for people to buy for company。 The book is narrated by one of these， Klara， as she initially spends her days in the store waiting to be bought and then， when she finally is， observing the family as events unfold。This is the kind of understated， subtle book for which Ishiguro is best known; things are intimated， hinted at， alluded to， yet never quite fully explained， so that the reader has to almost create the world in their own minds。 There is a lot of focus on family and friendship， on growing up and moving on - and， of course， at its centre is the question of what it means to be human。There is an obvious immediate comparison to Ian McEwan's recent 'Machines Like Me'。 Too obvious， in some ways， for they are very similar。 Fortunately （for me， anyway） this is much better than McEwan's novel。 But， that's not to say that it's a masterpiece by an author at the top of his game。 It just didn't feel original， or particularly engaging。 It is well-written， and Klara's narrative voice， for the most part， felt authentic。 For all the emotions and angst of the family involved， it just felt disconnected and cold， so I couldn't fully engage with them， nor care about what actually happened。 Perhaps that was the intention， so maybe it's just me！A good and interesting book to make you think。 Just not a great book。 3。5 stars。 。。。more

Klara is an artificial friend， but there's nothing artificial about her。 Her innocent wisdom penetrates the pages as she encounters the complex situations of human existence。 Her ceaseless optimism and insistence of thinking only the best of people gives a refreshing sense of hope in troubled times。 She's proof that you don't have to be jaded to make tough decisions in life， and that childlike innocence can also be mixed with deep reflection and understanding。 Klara's soul captured me from page Klara is an artificial friend， but there's nothing artificial about her。 Her innocent wisdom penetrates the pages as she encounters the complex situations of human existence。 Her ceaseless optimism and insistence of thinking only the best of people gives a refreshing sense of hope in troubled times。 She's proof that you don't have to be jaded to make tough decisions in life， and that childlike innocence can also be mixed with deep reflection and understanding。 Klara's soul captured me from page one and didn't let go until the end。 I feel the sun shining on my heart and giving me the energy we all need so deeply。 。。。more

Klara is an AF （artificial friend） and her keen observations lead the reader to some challenging insights regarding love， family and humanity。 Ishiguro delivers a novel that is heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time。

Oh god it made me cry like four times。Also， I love that this book feels to me like Ishiguro and McEwan had a lunch date and started talking about AI and they both walked away to write their。。。 very different books。 Anyway， this is beautiful and full of joy and sadness both。 Lord， that man can write。

Klara and the Sun is beautifully written through the eyes of an AF waiting for her human companion to pick her。 Ishiguro handles so many complex themes in this book: what does it mean to be human， what do we expect from others， what is the meaning of true friendship and the relationships between parents and their children。I found this book really interesting because it's science fiction but at the same time， doesn't feel like it。 I think this comes down to the quiet atmosphere Ishiguro creates i Klara and the Sun is beautifully written through the eyes of an AF waiting for her human companion to pick her。 Ishiguro handles so many complex themes in this book: what does it mean to be human， what do we expect from others， what is the meaning of true friendship and the relationships between parents and their children。I found this book really interesting because it's science fiction but at the same time， doesn't feel like it。 I think this comes down to the quiet atmosphere Ishiguro creates in his work。 This book is so beautiful and I will be searching for the nurturing effects of the sun for weeks to come。 Ishiguro's ability to explain this future earth through the eyes of Klara was excellent。 I thought that he showed the limitations of Klara's ability to understand the world around her was realistic and I didn't mind the bits I didn't understand entirely， because I don't think we are supposed to。 I love when authors blur the edges of the world they create through the narrator。 I think it reflects our own human experience and understanding of the world。**I received this book from Knopf This was my first Ishiguro and now I want to read all of his books！ 。。。more

I was very excited to read this。 It started off really great but got a little weird。 The point of view is an AI whose abilities and physical traits aren't shared at first。 About a 1/3rd of the way through， the narrator drops in descriptions of her visual system。 This isn't introduced， though， and it isn't clear if this is how her system is supposed to work and was not incorporated earlier， if it's a flaw in her system， if it's related to virtual reality or something else。 This function or view i I was very excited to read this。 It started off really great but got a little weird。 The point of view is an AI whose abilities and physical traits aren't shared at first。 About a 1/3rd of the way through， the narrator drops in descriptions of her visual system。 This isn't introduced， though， and it isn't clear if this is how her system is supposed to work and was not incorporated earlier， if it's a flaw in her system， if it's related to virtual reality or something else。 This function or view is never explained and remains confusing。More information in general would have made the story smoother。 The main character's child/owner is ill but the origin of her illness isn't shared until late in the book， and the process that underlies her illness isn't explored。 On the one hand， all that background doesn't necessarily matter to the narrator， but she is always presented as being curious and observant， so it doesn't make sense that this wouldn't matter to her。 The action of the second half of the book revolves around Klara's actions， based on a superstitious belief she has created。 There would be a lot of room to explore AI superstitions， either culturally or created individual by individual， but this is not the point at all。Finally， the dialogue from the other characters was stilted and jumpy。 Recommended for existing fans of the author。 Sci-fi fans looking for an exploration of possible AI futures may be disappointed。 。。。more

The Short of It:Love， loneliness and loyalty are front and center in this story about friendship。The Rest of It:Klara spends her days at the store， rotating positions with others。 Some days she is in the shop window and able to watch the busy people rushing past the shop， interacting with others and living their lives。 Other days， she is moved to the back of the store。 On these days， her only view is that of others in the store and she can’t help but yearn for more hours in the window。 Hours whe The Short of It:Love， loneliness and loyalty are front and center in this story about friendship。The Rest of It:Klara spends her days at the store， rotating positions with others。 Some days she is in the shop window and able to watch the busy people rushing past the shop， interacting with others and living their lives。 Other days， she is moved to the back of the store。 On these days， her only view is that of others in the store and she can’t help but yearn for more hours in the window。 Hours where she can feel the sun’s warmth and personally experience its rejuvenating effect。Klara is an AF， an Artificial Friend。 Although there are newer models with more advanced features than what she can offer， Klara is spotted by Josie， a young girl and instantly， Josie is sure that Klara is the AF for her， but the two do not meet at that moment。 The mother needs more convincing and so Klara， although hopeful to find a new home， is moved to the back of the store again。Months pass and Klara has all but given up hope， but then there she is， Josie。 Klara’s heart is bursting at the sight of her but she can’t help but notice that Josie doesn’t look well。 So as Klara is taken to Josie’s home， she quickly realizes that Josie is a special girl and that not only will she be Josie’s best friend， she will also be the one to notice her rapid decline in health and be the one to do something about it。What a story。 It’s a little weird and sad and somehow manages to hit on all the things we are feeling now。 Disappointment， loneliness， isolation， hope。 What does it mean to be a friend to someone？ How can you love a person when you are in fact a machine？ What happens when your purpose conflicts with your heart？You might think that it will be difficult to feel much while reading this story about what is essentially a robot but think twice。 Remember that episode of the Twilight Zone， Sing the Body Electric？ Bradbury wrote the script and it later became a story with the same name。 Anyway， I felt all the emotions while watching that episode and I felt the same way here。 Ishiguro presents an AF who is almost too human and I loved her。 I loved her gentle observations and her willingness to sacrifice herself when needed。 Truthfully， I am a little sad now as I just turned the last page not long ago。 This story will sit with me for a long while。If you are wondering about the title， it’s all explained in the story and probably represents many things but I will keep my thoughts to myself so that you can consider the meaning yourself。For more reviews， visit my blog: Book Chatter。 。。。more

Thank you Edelweiss for the advanced copy。 The first half of this is remarkably stronger then the second。 Even with the flawless Ishiguro writing throughout。 Over all it does have strong Never Let Me Go vibes， with a notably different protagonist。 The novel fails a bit in the logic of Klara through the second half。 Though I am sure it is reaching to be a religious allegory。 Still well worth the read for Ishiguro's style of storytelling that as always feels fresh yet classic。 Thank you Edelweiss for the advanced copy。 The first half of this is remarkably stronger then the second。 Even with the flawless Ishiguro writing throughout。 Over all it does have strong Never Let Me Go vibes， with a notably different protagonist。 The novel fails a bit in the logic of Klara through the second half。 Though I am sure it is reaching to be a religious allegory。 Still well worth the read for Ishiguro's style of storytelling that as always feels fresh yet classic。 。。。more
